Thousands of Hezbollah fighters injured in Lebanon when their new pagers all simultaneously explode — causing horrifying wounds to theirs groins and hands

Paging all terrorists!

Thousands of Hezbollah terrorists were injured in southern Lebanon on Tuesday when their new pagers all simultaneously exploded — causing horrifying burns to their groins and hands as the devices detonated on their belts and in their pockets. 

Lebanese officials said 2,800 people were injured and nine killed in what Hezbollah officials claimed was a hacking attack by Israel. 

Hezbollah — a Lebanese militant group that the US has designated as a terrorist organization — confirmed the wide-range attack on its operatives, including fighters and medics, with one official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, calling it the “biggest security breach” since the group began its near-daily attacks on Israel on Oct. 8. 

Videos uploaded to social media show several incidents in which seemingly unaware men had devices in their pockets blow up, with the victims crying in pain as bystanders ran away. 

One such video shows a man shopping at a local grocery store when an explosion occurs in his pocket, sending debris flying out of his pants as he falls to the floor. 

Other videos circulating on social media show dozens of men in hospitals covered in burn wounds, with one man with his fingers blown off and another covering his bloody face.      

Several of the men caught by the blasts could be seen covering their groins and thighs, which were likely wounded when the pagers went off in their pants. 

Doctors could also be seen treating the injured men lying on cardboard mats in the hallway as the hospitals were quickly inundated Tuesday morning.  

Along with Hezbollah operatives, Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was injured in the blasts, according to Tehran’s Mehr news agency. 

Hezbollah officials claimed Israel was behind the pager attack. The Israeli military has not commented on the incident.  

“The enemy (Israel) stands behind this security incident,” a Hezbollah official told the AP. 

The devices that detonated were all the latest models acquired by Hezbollah in recent months and distributed to its members, with the devices suspected of being tampered with, three security sources told Reuters. 

Through the use of malware, the devices could see their lithium batteries overheat and explode. 

One Hezbollah official told the Wall Street Journal that some members felt their pagers heat up and disposed of them before they detonated.  

The terror group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, had previously warned his fighters not to carry cellphones, telling them they could be used to track their movements or carry out some kind of targeted strike. 

The terror group had switched from cellphones to pagers to communicate with its militants because of fears that the cellular network had been compromised by Israeli agents. 

Exactly what caused the pagers to explode has yet to be revealed. 

Reuters journalists witnessed ambulances rushing through Beirut with the wounded terrorists amid widespread panic over the explosions. 

Lebanon’s Health Ministry called on health workers treating the wounded to remove their wireless devices. 

Residents said the explosions continued to occur even 30 minutes after the initial blast. 

As well as Beirut, the Hezbollah official said pagers were being detonated in south Lebanon. 

The Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed the number of dead and injured before Tuesday afternoon. 

Israel and Hezbollah have engaged in near-daily attacks over the border since the terror group began attacking the Jewish state in solidarity with Hamas.
